I don't think it's normal. A genuine Long V blade would come with a red authntification card that contains a serial number. And you should find the same serial number one the side of the handle.
Hmm . . . . I would disagree with that.
I have played Chinese tacky rubber on FH all my life. So I have developed a stroke that relies on brushing for FH loop.
MXP is probably spinnier than K1 if you perform the European type of stroke. In European FH stroke the sponge is engaged very deeply...
Yup agree!! Mine is tacky. At least more tacky than the newer Hurricane. The sponge is also very responsive.
On the same blade (Ma Long V) I would say my K1 is as spinny as my Neo H3 provincial orange sponge. But the top speed is less than H3. However K1 has way more control and feel TBH.

I was shocked too. . Well that proves that experience and age can be an advantage in this case.

Always invest in a good blade - good feel, good control and enough reservoir of speed. A good blade can last you a long time even when you are ar an advanced level.
Start with a solid good 5ply. Depends on your budget there are many good 5ply blades available. Don't underestimate 5ply blades...
Agree. The increased ROM also increases the momentum of the racket. The larger momentum requires a strong grip operated by the middle finger, index finger and the thumb.

It's never easy. In Wang Hao's tutorial he suggests beginners to lock their wrist while doing RPB. That means you move your forearm only.
But in order to create the dangerous side spin you must use your wrist. Due to the natural penhold grip you will brush the side of the ball if you loop with...
